Where: New Zealand (40.7° S, 172.5° E: paleocoordinates 12.4° N, 171.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Douglas Formation (Golden Bay Group), Gisbornian (458.4 - 452.7 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Derived from "Formation A" (Golden Bay Group, undifferentiated upper part) is the youngest of the beds mapped in this region, overlying Member 3 of the Slaty Creek Formation.
